threaded_call(Goal) threaded_call((Goal1, Goal2, ...)) threaded_call((Goal1; Goal2; ...))
Prove Goal asynchronously using a new thread. The argument can be a message sending. This call always succeeds. The result (success, failure, or exception) is sent back to the thread of the object containing the call (this).
When the argument is a conjunction of goals, the call is equivalent to the conjunction of calls of the individual goals. However, when the argument is a disjunction of goals, the call is equivalent to the competing calls of the individual goals: when one of the goals complete, the other ones are aborted (i.e. their threads are terminated). In this case, the corresponding threaded_exit/1-2 goal must match all the goals in the disjunction. This is useful when you have a set of different methods to solve a problem without knowing a priori which one will lead to the fastest result.
